3. ''Something''
The Beatles (1969)
The first part of George Harrison's meditation on an alluring woman is as seductive as its subject, enticing the listener to sink into its languid melody. Then, as doubt sets in (''You're asking me will my love grow? I don't know, I don't know''), the song speeds up — just as one's thoughts will do when contemplating a romance that seems too good to be true.
